Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup high-quality cocoa powder
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk

Optional Add-ins

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Measure out all ingredients carefully to maintain balance.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution and prevents lumps in the batter.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a stand mixer or hand whisk, cream the softened unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This traps air, helping the cake rise and create a tender crumb.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Beat the eggs into the creamed mixture one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  5. Add Optional Extras: Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped nuts gently into the batter to distribute evenly without deflating it.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter, ensuring a fudgy interior.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to let the fudgy texture set properly. Serve plain or with your favorite frosting or toppings.

Notes

  • Use good quality cocoa powder and chocolate for the richest flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender texture.
  • Check the oven temperature with a thermometer for consistent baking.
  • Use room temperature eggs, butter, and milk to blend ingredients smoothly.
  • Test cake doneness with a toothpick that should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
